    "head_matter": "Johanna Ran Longhi, Appellee, v. Emilio Longhi, Appellant.\nGen. No. 20,338.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Thomas G. Windes, Judge, presiding. Certiorari denied by Supreme Court (making opinion final).\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1914.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed April 22, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill by Johanna Rau Longhi against Emilio Longhi in the Circuit Court of Cook county for separate maintenance. The bill charges adultery, cruelty and desertion. Decree finding the defendant guilty of cruelty and desertion. The complainant was awarded eighty dollars per month for her support, and twenty dollars per month for the support, education and maintenance of their child, and one hundred and twenty-five dollars for solicitor\u2019s fees. Defendant appeals.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Husband and wife, \u00a7 211 \u2014when separation agreement valid. An agreement between the husband and wife for separate maintenance of the wife, which is free from fraud or duress, and which makes an equitable provision for the wife, considering the station in life of the parties, is valid and is a bar to a separate maintenance proceeding brought by the wife, but they cannot by such an agreement between them deprive a court of chancery of its power over the care, custody and support of the minor children of the parties.\n2. Husband and wife, \u00a7 267*\u2014when award in separate maintenance .not disturbed. In a bill for separate maintenance, the amount of the allowance that shall be decreed rests in the judicial discretion of the chancellor, which is subject to review, but the amount .allowed will not be disturbed on appeal unless he has abused his discretion.\n3. Husband and wife, \u00a7 243*\u2014when award in separate maintenance not excessive. In a separate maintenance proceeding, an award of eighty dollars per month for the support of the wife and twenty dollars per month for their minor daughter, held not excessive although defendant had previously transferred valuable property to complainant, same not producing any income at the time of the decree.\n4. Husband and wife, \u00a7 239*\u2014when chancellor may change allowance in separate maintenance. Upon application, the chancellor may at any time after making an allowance in an action for separate maintenance make such alterations in the allowance for maintenance as are reasonable and proper.\nGorman, Pollock, Sullivan & Livingston, for appellant.\nJohn C. Mechem, for appellee; Mechem & Bangs, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
